Page 15 ® CHEM-FEED C3 Mode 0 - Set Remote Start / Stop Used to remotely start and stop pump using a dry contact closure signal. When activated; CLOSE = START and OPEN = STOP. Set to NO = Remote Start / Stop is disabled Set to Yes = Remote Start / Stop is enabled Can be used with external foot pedal, PLC, contact closure or other similar external devices.
Page 16 ® CHEM-FEED C3 Mode 0 - Set DFD Sensitivity CHEM-FEED pump is equipped with a Diaphragm Failure Detection (DFD) system which is designed to stop pump in event diaphragm should rupture and chemical enters pump head. This system is capable of detection presence of a large number of chemicals including Sodium Hypochlorite (chlorine), Hydrochloric (muriatic) Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, and many others.
Page 17 ® CHEM-FEED C3 Mode 0 - Set FVS (flow verification system) Flow verification sensor sold separately. Flow verification system is designed to stop pump in an event sensor does not detect flow during pump operation. Indicating an empty chemical tank, clogged injection fitting, loose tubing connection, etc. To allow pump to clear any gasses that may have accumulated over time, an alarm delay time value from 1 to 255 seconds must be programmed.

MODE Minimum Maximum PRIME IP66 Blue-White Ind. Made in the USA NEMA 4X Confirm FVS flow range - Flow Verification Sensor (FVS) will only function within its operating range. See chart for available ranges. NOTE: If pump output is less than 30 ml/min, sensor will not detect chemical and a signal will not be sent to pump, resulting in an alarm condition.
Page 19 ® CHEM-FEED C3 Mode 0 - Set 4-20mA Output Available on certain models. Sends a configurable 4-20 mA signal, based on pump rotor speed, to an external device. This feature can be used to control other pumps (in sync / proportionally), data logging systems, and other external devices for plant automation.
